Abstract

UN METODO Y APARATO PARA MEDIR Y CONTROLAR EL VOLUMEN DE UN SEGMENTO DE LIQUIDO ENCERRADO EN UN TUBO Y QUE TIENE UN BORDE DELANTERO Y UN BORDE TRASERO. EL TUBO SE EXPONE A RADIACION EN ANGULO Y SE MIDE LA RADIACION REFRACTADA POR LA SUPERFICIE INTERIOR DEL TUBO EN LOS BORDES DELANTERO Y TRASERO DEL SEGMENTO, MIENTRAS EL SEGMENTO DE LIQUIDO SE MUEVE POR EL TUBO.
